Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: California "Cohousing friendly" condominiums lenders?

[John Faust (wjfaust]

Since this is really critical information to all forming cohousing groups,
it would be a valuable service provided by CohoUS to have a list of
cohousing-friendly lenders regardless of state. That way, when we talk to
our local lenders, we can say here is are lenders who understand and are
receptive to the idea of cohousing. Lenders will probably listen to other
lenders sooner than to local borrowers.

The classical steady state takes the biophysical dimensions—population and
capital stock—as given and adapts technology and tastes to these objective
conditions. The neoclassical “steady state” takes tastes and technology as
given and adapts by growth in biophysical dimensions, since it considers
wants as unlimited, and technology as powerful enough to make the world
effectively infinite.—Herman Daly

At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is
assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. ...
Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with
surprising effectiveness.—George Orwell
